摘要:
Microorganism selected from Gluconobacter, Gluconacetobacter, Acetobacter or Ketogulonicigenium, wherein a gene encoding a polypeptide with the activity of a repressor of L-sorbosone dehydrogenase (SNDH) and L-sorbose dehydrogenase (SDH) is disrupted. The gene has a polynucleotide selected from polynucleotides encoding a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of which is represented by SEQ ID NO:2, polynucleotide comprising the nucleotide sequence according to SEQ ID NO:1, polynucleotides the complementary strand of which hybridizes under stringent conditions to a polynucleotide as defined above and which encodes a polypeptide with the activity of a repressor of SNDH and SDH. The microorganism produces at least 10% more Vitamin C and/or 2-KGA from L-sorbose compared to a microorganism wherein the repressor is intact.

摘要:
The present invention relates to microorganisms genetically engineered to increase yield and/or efficiency of biomass production from a carbon source, such as e.g. glucose. Processes for generating such microorganisms are also provided by the present invention. The invention also relates to polynucleotide sequences comprising genes that encode proteins that are involved in the bioconversion of a carbon source such as e.g. glucose into biomass. The invention also features polynucleotides comprising the full-length polynucleotide sequences of the novel genes and fragments thereof, the novel polypeptides encoded by the polynucleotides and fragments thereof, as well as their functional equivalents. Also included are processes of using the polynucleotides and modified polynucleotide sequences to transform host microorganisms leading to a microorganism with reduced carbon source diversion, i.e. higher yield and/or efficiency of biomass production from a carbon source such as e.g. glucose.

摘要:
The present invention relates to the production of recombinant microorganisms, in particular of the genus Gluconobacter, for production of 2-keto-L-gulonic acid (2-KGA) and/or L-ascorbic acid (hereinafter also referred to as Vitamin C), wherein the microorganism has been modified to overexpress L-sorbose dehydrogenase (SDH). This overexpression has been achieved by introducing of one or more copies of a polynucleotide encoding SDH into the genome of the host microorganism resulting in enhanced yield, production, and/or efficiency of 2-KGA production and/or Vitamin C compared to a non-modified microorganism. Expression of said one or more extra-copies of sdh is dependent on the integration site. The invention also relates to genetically engineered microorganisms and their use for the production of 2-KGA and/or Vitamin C.
